Kobe Artists Museum

Kobe Artists Museum, Art museum in Higashinada-ku, Kobe, Japan

The Kobe Artists Museum (Kobe Yukari no Bijutsukan) occupies the first floor of the Kobe Fashion Museum on Rokko Island in Higashinada-ku, Kobe. Opened on 23 March 2007, it shows city-owned works by modern and contemporary artists linked to Kobe, among them Heizo Kanayama, Ryōhei Koiso and Hide Kawanishi. Its three galleries cover about 1,300 m² under a 4.8 m ceiling.

The museum opened in 2007 as part of the broader cultural development of Rokko Island, an artificial island built from the 1980s onward. Since then, it has grown into a regular venue for contemporary art in the Kobe area.

The museum is also known as the "Museum of Kobe Artists" and focuses on painters and other artists who lived and worked in Kobe from the second half of the 19th century onward. Its collection is owned by the city and includes works by Heizo Kanayama, Ryōhei Koiso, Masuki Komatsu, Haruo Ishizaka, Hide Kawanishi, Masaru Nakanishi and Yuki Shintani.

The museum occupies the first floor of the Kobe Fashion Museum on Rokko Island, in Higashinada Ward. Reach it in about one minute on foot from Island Center Station on the Rokko Liner. It closes on Mondays, or the following day when Monday is a public holiday, and over the New Year period from 29 December to 3 January.

The museum occupies three galleries on the first floor of the Kobe Fashion Museum on Rokko Island, with a total floor area of about 1,300 m² and a ceiling height of 4.8 m. It opened on 23 March 2007 under the city's international culture and tourism bureau.
